A Special Place to Pray

PM#0091

Acts 1:13

Do you have a need to find a special place to pray? Why is such a place needed for prayer?

Perhaps an answer to this question comes from looking at the beginnings of the early church.

The Christian church had its beginning in a prayer meeting in a place called the Upper Room. Since that time the upper room was a type of secret place for the church. It was a place where they could come together in unity and spiritual closeness. No doubt this encouraged their faith to grow. As we too join together in unity in prayer, God joins with us through His Son Jesus, and the Spirit of God helps us function as God wants us. Coming to a special place where we can join with others follows the example of the early church. Perhaps it is the reason we need more of this, a special place to pray.

Father, burn these truths on our heart and may we continue stedfast in prayer. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
